I sincerely hope that these discussions can take place very quickly and conclude well before the season starts. The long-term outlook is clearly the most important here, but this season is looming and the squad is desperate for additions as it is threadbare at the moment. I am sure every Oxford fan wants true U's fans to take over the club (if indeed it is for sale!?) rather than some outside investors (Birminham fans!). I find it bizarre that an investor is interested in the club as it is losing money annually. They must be mad or have a cunning plan. Either way, they plan to make money out of the U's and that cannot be good. Good luck to Methven and co.

The only reason for buying OUFC without the Stadium is, as far as I can see, because the U's have a card up their sleeves in that they are contractual tenants for ten or so years- meaning if kassam or others are panning to build houses on he site they would have to by out Uniteds' contract. Plus, of course the U's would need a new home which would have to be part of any deal involving the Council/s, kassam and a consortium.
